Bottling to start at Boston Beer Works

You’ll soon be able to purchase Boston Beer Works craft beer at local beer stores in the greater Boston area.  As I understand, the popular Boston Brewer and Restaurant is in the midst of receiving their distributors license.  I was lucky enough to grab a six pack of Fenway American Pale ale from the GM on my last visit.. and Beer Works fans will NOT be disappointed.  It almost tastes better than on tap.  Full review to come after my next bottle, but I am very impressed.  Can’t wait to see these at stores. In the meantime, pickup a Growler or a bomber of select favorites at any Beer Works locations! For more information, read our post on Boston Beer Works.

Rock Art – Herb Jasmine Pale Ale

Rock Art – Herb Jasmine Pale Ale

THE POUR: Cloudy amber with light carbonation.  Little head retention with almost zero lacing around the glass.

THE AROMA: As the name implies, plenty of herbs.  Like the pour, it’s very earthy in smell.  Nice jasmine flowery freshness.

THE TASTE: Slight hint of hops accompanied by more earthy-herbal tones. Overall dry taste that is not overpowering.

THE DECISION: I like when a beer tastes similar to what you would imagine when looking at the label and reading the name. This beer accomplishes that. Overall I would like a more hoppy bite, but its unique, which is appreciated and expected by a Vermont beer.

THE GRADE: B
